Chevrolet Bolt EV Adds Fleet-Only Cargo Version

Chevrolet has quietly rolled out a cargo version of the Bolt EV. Listed under GM’s option code K1T, the fleet-only Bolt cargo model stands out for what it lacks—a rear seat.

Along with eliminating the Bolt’s split-folding rear-bench seat, opting for the cargo model also deletes the rear side airbags, rear carpeting, and rear-seat heating ducts. It also replaces the five-seat model’s 17-inch wheels with a set of 16-inch steel units with plastic wheel covers.

The option is limited to the base Chevrolet Bolt LT, and choosing it neither raises nor lowers the vehicle’s base price of $37,495. However, a Chevrolet spokesperson informed us that fleet buyers selecting the cargo option are given a $1000 credit to use toward upfitting the cargo hold for their specific business needs.

Like its five-seat sibling, the Bolt cargo uses a 200-hp front-mounted electric motor and a 60-kWh battery pack, which allows the electric vehicle to travel up to 238 miles on a full charge. Don’t plan on charging a Bolt cargo model using a standard outlet, though, as the two-seat model forgoes the 120-volt charging cord found in its five-seat sibling.
